I like:Clio (rejected - he says people will get it confused with Leo :roll: )Vada (haven't run this one by him - thinking of forcing him to watch My Girl and seeing if he says anything about her name )Miriam (he's open to this as a middle)

vml - Oh, I do love Tessa. Tess was actually on my list to go over with hubs, and he told me that it sounds like a brazen hussy. Say what?!

whillemina - Thanks! I really like your taste. A lot of those combos were rejected with Ivy, but I might try them again. I really like Rosalind as a middle name to honor his mom, Linda

otter - He's not feeling Luna, and while he likes Phoebe, he can't get over the character from Friends. Meh, I've been meeting a lot of little Phoebes lately, anyway, and I also feel that it's a bit difficult to say Ivy and Phoebe quickly together. It's a whole lot of "ee" sounds. Clio is the only one I'm seriously sad about. Very seriously. I might bring it up again in a couple months. I'll see what he thinks of Juno and Lyra (this was my #1 choice when I found out I was pregnant with Ivy). I love Mina, but baby will have a cousin named Myla that will be very close in age. I also really love Alba, but it's pretty tied up with JessicaAlba (do Brits even know who she is?) and a cosmetic/toiletries brand by the same name. It's hard to find something that is short, sweet, fun, spunky, and still keep the vintagey vibe I like. Hubs leans more towards the naturey end of names, and would probably go for Clover in a second, but I want to avoid a "green plant" theme.
